WHY HOMESCHOOLING WORKS

The knowledge our children gain from using Computers, watching television, movies and clips online is more than most of us gained in all of our years of K-12 public schooling.

This is the new age. This video explains why homeschooling, with multi-media, hours and hours a day, works better than public/private schooling hours and hours a day. Our children can use the tools more often, for longer and with more leniency than any school in America is equipped to give their students.

THIS is why Homeschooling Works better than the failing American Schools. THIS is why teachers should be able to use their knowledge, love of teaching and energy to run their classrooms the way they see fit rather than adhering to bureaucratic standards that continue to squash the educational desire of modern day students.

Teachers Are Not Broken. The System is broken! Until our schools can teach full out with the technology of today, they're best foot forward is 10 steps behind their students.

THIS is why Homeschooling Works!




Trying to get more learning out of the present system is like trying to get the Pony Express to compete with the telegraph by breeding faster ponies.

THANK YOU! I've been teaching for 18 years and there are more and more frustrations every year. The state tests are crazy, we have no time for art or music and it's no wonder so many parents home school. I want the time to have discussions, play games, explore the world, but no we have to do x, y and z for the TEST first. Ugghh...I could go on and on...but I totally agree...thanks...great post!

thanks for posting this! I love the video, and this is exactly why I homeschool. Our public schools are still teaching using a system that is so outdated, it's insane.
